Honda F1 project leader Yusuke Hasegawa has outlined a number of reasons why Honda has been struggling so badly in the beginning of the 2017 Formula One season. He confirmed that lots of problems were not discovered while running on the dynamo meter.
This is exactly it, we don't know. Not to say that someone here doesn't know, but their tone would come across as them having a source or is one.taperoo2k wrote:We simply do not know what maps and fuel loads teams are running. Most often, teams will hold back performance until it actually matters - Qualifying and the Race. That's another thing Honda will be behind on - Mapping the ICE and other PU parts.Shafto wrote:
So you know, for a fact, that NO ONE has tested full power map settings? I understand that the mere arm chair specialists that we are enjoy putting our 2 cents in, but we should not make up 'facts'.
Remember none of these are even firing engines, there's going to be at least one big bang in there maybe more. Getting all those bangs to not have harmonic resonance at critical RPM is not so easy to do.PlatinumZealot wrote:Ha. New crankshaft and cams would be too easy to change the firing order.
The vibrations affecting them is actually affecting the injectors i think.
TJI itself would not cause any more vibrations than standard injection. Would actually be less! Because combustion is more uniform.. But i feel these new "Honda injectors" yes... Could the be crazy enough to make their own? ! OK matbe not. Probably Denso.
Whatever they are they could be very succesptible to vibrations. Clattering of pintle perhaps?
We know a cylinder is a cylinder. Valves are valves. That leaves the piston crown and the injector.. I think those are where the problems are.
I'd say they're as accurate as anything he could realistically give you.max_speed wrote:Wazari can you please step in and throw few clues ? i hardly believe in reports coming from AMUS etc.
in his last post he mentioned about quite optimistic mood in sakura and honda was quite upbeat despite setbacks.godlameroso wrote: I'd say they're as accurate as anything he could realistically give you.
As someone who is new to the forum, has there been any proof that shows he is who he claims to be?max_speed wrote:in his last post he mentioned about quite optimistic mood in sakura and honda was quite upbeat despite setbacks.godlameroso wrote: I'd say they're as accurate as anything he could realistically give you.
i do not believe mclaren-honda are orchestrating drama and gonna come out and surprise. not paying attention to vibrations (with TJI ) is primitive mistake. i do not believe Honda can commit this basic mistake when they are introducing this tech after every other manufacturer and after 2 years in business.
There is something that Honda would like to hide. All the official info from Honda appear to be smoke screens to me. Even though the prospect is looking dim right now, I still admire the Honda management for having the guts to stick to their game plan.max_speed wrote:in his last post he mentioned about quite optimistic mood in sakura and honda was quite upbeat despite setbacks.godlameroso wrote: I'd say they're as accurate as anything he could realistically give you.

Wasn't yesterday's "failure" an electric issue and they changed it as a precautionary measure?Thunders wrote:German SportBild too reports the Problems lie in the Cylinder Head, specifically with the new Injection Technology. That supposedly was the cause for the Day 2 and Day 5 Engine Failure.
